| Three representative conformations of a vesicle: a v =0.4 stomatocyte (a), a v =0.6 oblate (b), and a v =0.8 prolate (c). According to the current work, the internal and the external adhesion sites are indicated by (red) circles and (green) squares, respectively, for a small spherical particle adhering to a stomatocyte (a), an oblate (b), and a prolate (c). The filled diamonds specify the equatorial line on a prolate that is further discussed in Section 3.5. |
